A mediocre old man who is getting older! If that happens, I, Alpha, will commit suicide and be buried with him! The coup failed that day. If he is willing, I can risk my life to protect him and rush out of the imperial capital! Return to Luolin Plain to reorganize the army, come

We will fight again every day! But he chose to surrender! Did he think that this could save the family and avoid more bloodshed? Wrong! Raymond was wrong!!"

When Alpha was extremely angry, a strong fighting spirit suddenly emerged from his body! His emotions seemed to be a little out of control, and he said loudly: "When we Luolin people lose our souls, we lose the glory and dignity of our family."

When...living in such humiliation is more uncomfortable than dying!! Raymond was wrong! Wrong!!"

Seeing Du Wei's surprised look, Alpha suddenly felt a trace of deep heartache in his eyes. His fighting spirit subsided and he lowered his head. He said slowly: "Master, please forgive me for my gaffe... I believe in you."

I am determined and believe in your sincerity. But now, I can’t see a shred of hope!”

"How...why can't we see hope?" Du Wei frowned.

"You!" Alpha suddenly sneered: "You are already a duke and own a province of territory... Then why do you want to go back to Luolin Plain in the future? No matter if it is the regent or any emperor, you will.

Is it allowed for one of your ministers to own two territories? What is a family? To put it clearly, it is: land and people!! And now, your land is in the Desa Province! Your people belong to the Desa Province

People! These people are not from the Luo Lin family! The real people from the Luo Lin family live on the Luo Lin Plain! They have lived on the Luo Lin Plain for hundreds of years and generations, drinking the water of the Luo Lin River.

Big! Even if one day you really erect a Luolin flag in the province of Desa... I will not agree that this is the Luolin family! Because this land is not Luolin's land! And the people here...

No one is a Rollin!!"

Du Wei was finally speechless. Alpha glanced at Du Wei, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee. He put one hand across his chest and made the most solemn knight salute: "Master, I deeply understand your ambition.

.It’s just that I really can’t see a glimmer of hope now. Maybe you will achieve greater achievements than the ancestors of the Luo Lin family back then, and maybe your name will be engraved in history forever... But, please forgive me, these

Glory cannot hide the fact that the real Luo Lin family no longer exists."

After saying all this, Alpha stood up, stopped talking, turned around and left the study.

Du Wei was silent for a long time, and he let out a long sigh. He had to admit that Alpha was right, really right!

Even if I really raise the Luo Lin flag in the northwest in the future... can this place be considered the "Luo Lin family"?

The hundreds of thousands of people living on the Luolin Plain are the real Luolin family! Desa Province... is Desa Province after all!

From this point of view, the fact that he keeps saying that he wants to restore the family's glory... is really too simplistic.

If you want to really restore Luolin, you have to get back the Luolin Plain. Get back the hundreds of thousands of real Luolin people! But...how could Prince Chen agree to such a thing? How could he return the Luolin Plain?

Himself? How could he return hundreds of thousands of Luolin people to himself?

This night...is very long!

When it was still dark, Du Wei did not allow himself to remain depressed. He cheered up and walked out of the study.

No matter what the future holds, the problems before us are the most real.

Forty thousand northwest troops are ten miles outside the city. There are also ten thousand prairie wolves that have sneaked into their territory.

As a lord and the master of this land, Du Wei certainly cannot allow such a thing!

After gathering everyone and boarding the city gate, Du Wei looked into the distance and used his eagle eye technique. Du Wei could easily see the northwest army's camp from a distance.

Overnight, the Northwest Army had set up camp ten miles outside the city.

"Last night I sent a few brothers to investigate under the cover of night." Longbottom curled his lips and said: "These bastards of the Northwest Army have increased their troops again. Last night they sent a large number of baggage, about an infantry regiment.

According to my estimation, the food and baggage delivered is enough to feed and drink the 40,000 people outside here for a month. In other words... these guys want to surround us in the city for a month.

"

Du Wei sneered: "Sure enough, I spent a lot of money!"

Then he announced: "Gentlemen, I have bad news to announce. I have received reliable information that these northwest troops have bad intentions when they come this time! They blocked the door and refused to let us out. In fact, they wanted to give the grassland people

Cover! The reliable information I got is that at least 10,000 prairie people have sneaked into our territory, broken into pieces, and are now running wild in our territory."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone under Du Wei changed!

Philip, the staff member, had the fastest brain, and he immediately said: "Sir! We must send the army out as soon as possible! Everyone knows how scary the prairie people are! They are a pack of bloodthirsty wolves! If such a pack of wolves is allowed to enter our territory...

...Then the people of Desa Province will suffer huge losses! These guys will burn, kill and loot, and they will not show mercy!"

"But we don't have enough troops." Dardaniel frowned: "My lord, are you sure that those grassland people moved in pieces? In this case, we only have a few thousand people in our hands. Even if we go out, Desa Province is so

Big, where are we going to find those bastards?"

Philip immediately said angrily: "Lord Dardanelle! Are we just going to watch the prairie wolves run wild in our territory? The ones who bleed are all our people!!"

Dardanelle immediately defended: "Mr. Philip, that's not what I meant! It's just that I think about it from a purely military perspective. We don't have enough troops. If we want to deal with the grassland people, we must use cavalry, and cavalry...

"

Having said this, he glanced at Longbottom. The meaning of this look was obvious: We don't have many cavalry!

For the first time, Du Wei had doubts about Longbottom's "elite troops" strategy. Because this 250-year-old general had high requirements for the quality of cavalry, Du Wei only had one cavalry regiment under his command.

Three thousand cavalry.

How to deal with ten thousand prairie wolves? And the prairie wolves are dispersed into pieces! These people will definitely want to wreak havoc everywhere like locusts!

Longbottom, although Du Wei also supports the strategy of elite soldiers, but... the number is too small! It has been a year since he came to the northwest. The infantry already has nearly 20,000 people, which is enough to make up a division.

They have all been taken out, but the cavalry still remains at a pitiful 3,000 people...

"Cough!!" Longbottom finally coughed and spoke.

When he made a sound, the people around him became quiet. After all, among Du Wei's men now, only Longbottom was the only one who came from the orthodox army and had the richest military experience. And the other people, including Philip, were also

Well, neither Dardanelle nor Dardanelle has ever really been in the army.

"Gentlemen, I think the situation is not that bad." Longbottom's eyes showed a glint: "Don't forget. Outside, there is Robert Knight and his two infantry regiments!"

Knight Robert is not in Loulan City at the moment. As the infantry leader of the Tulip family's private army appointed by Du Wei, Knight Robert currently has four infantry regiments under his command, with a total of 16,000 people in name. But in fact, the most elite

An infantry regiment stayed in Loulan City, the capital, to guard the capital.

An infantry regiment was ordered to be stationed in the original capital of Gilliat City, now the "secret factory" of Duverty.

The remaining two infantry regiments of 8,000 people were dispersed and stationed in various parts of the Desa province, serving as local garrison forces.

Philip frowned and expressed his worries: "You are right, but the two infantry regiments under Robert Knight are dispersed and stationed in various places. And...the two infantry regiments are a mixture of veterans and recruits.

Combat effectiveness does not give people absolute peace of mind. If you encounter a large group of prairie cavalry, you will be easily eaten by the opponent if you are not prepared."

"But don't forget... the prairie people also broke up the army and sneaked in." Longbottom said loudly: "Although they have ten thousand people, they are not so scary after they are broken up. And our army is all

It is stationed in the town. With Robert Knight's cautious character, the officers he trained should be very careful. In these days of spring drills and the mobilization of the northwest army, the Duke has long ordered the garrison troops everywhere to be careful. The prairie people want to make a sneak attack.

If so, there won't be much chance. As long as our local garrison guards the gates strictly, there won't be much of a problem... Of course, we can't sit back and wait for death, we still have to send people out. But what I mean is, you don't need to be too pessimistic.

The situation is not as bad as imagined.”

Du Wei pondered for a moment, and as the top leader, he made a decision: "I trust Robert Knight, he is a trustworthy person, and I believe that under his leadership, those prairie wolves will not be allowed to take advantage.

...It’s just that our problem now is that we have to find a way to send cavalry out! Otherwise, over time, people will always feel uneasy.”

The Duke made his decision, so the people below stopped arguing. Everyone looked at Du Wei.

"We need a way to get out." Dardanelle said: "The Northwest Army is clearly besieging the city! Since they have colluded with the grassland people, they will never let our army get out of their encirclement! Longbottom's General

Our subordinates went out to investigate last night. These prairie people sent several thousand cavalry troops to patrol around our city. They were very vigilant. It is impossible to sneak out. If you want to go out... you have to force your way in.

Come on! Sir... maybe we should prepare for a fight with the Northwest Army!!"

Duwei glanced at Dardanelle, then at Longbottom and the few officers behind him. Everyone had a look of determination and eagerness to try.

"A hard fight?" Du Wei thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and was about to give the order when suddenly Philip whispered: "Sir, maybe I have a way."

"Um?"

Philip was not in a hurry, with a smile on his face: "Sir, you have forgotten that the Marquise Lister is still in the city. I heard that General Lu Gao of the Northwest Army is the Marquise's loyal subordinate.

Sir! Presumably, the people from the Northwest Army would not dare to stop the Liszt family from leaving the city."

After a pause, Philip smiled and said: "Mrs. Liszt is here this time. She has brought a team of the Liszt family's White Feather Knights!"

Du Wei's eyes lit up.

Philip continued to smile and said: "Based on your friendship with Marquise Liszt, it shouldn't be a difficult thing to borrow the name of the White Feather Knights. The only difficult thing is the equipment. Fortunately, the White Feather Knights are the most famous

The characteristic is the white horse and silver armor. We have a lot of white horses ourselves. If there is not enough, we will get some fuel to fake it. In the hurry, the other party can't see any flaws. As for the silver knight armor, we should be able to get enough in the warehouse...

...In the end, we just need to borrow the flag of the White Feather Knights of the Liszt family. I think the Northwest Army would be too embarrassed to intercept the Liszt family's cavalry regiment. If necessary, we can lie and claim that the Marquise is in the team.

They don’t dare to intercept it!”

"But... there are only 200 people from the White Feather Knights coming this time... and everyone knows that the White Feather Knights only have a total of 500 people. Our cavalry has 3,000 people! Rush out like this,

Everyone knows it's fake." Dardaniel frowned.

Philip smiled. Without saying anything, Du Wei smiled knowingly and said: "This is not difficult! According to the establishment of a knight with four retinues, our team will not arouse suspicion as long as we do not check the eight hundred. We will bring three

The thousand cavalrymen were divided into four teams and headed out in four directions. Hum, even if they met the other party's cavalry, they wouldn't be able to see anything..."

There are no telephones or mobile phones in this world! Even if four teams are intercepted by the enemy at the same time, the other party's armies cannot contact each other! There is no way to contact each other instantly. Even if four teams are discovered at the same time, the other party does not know that we have four teams at the same time.

"White Feather Knights" go out! By the time they find out, our cavalry will have already left.

The only problem is...I owe Marquise Liszt another favor!

Sure enough, Marquise Liszt agreed to Du Wei's request without hesitation. She even offered to lend all the two hundred real White Feather Knights she brought to Du Wei! Two hundred people
To be continued...
